10. Starting Out On The Defensive

Ironically, the mistake a lot of men make when it comes to approaching women is simply fearing the worst. This isn’t always true (at all), but once you start believing it is, you’ll immediately be on the defensive, trying to think of solutions to problems that really don't even exist. The last thing you want to do is see any woman as a ‘challenge’ or as though you need to learn any ‘tricks‘ to persuade potential partners to talk to you. Doing this will be what puts women off — just like doing that with a guy friend would put him off wanting to hang out with you — not the things you were initially worried about. Forget what you’ve heard. Approaching a woman is not about game-playing. Women (fun, nice women that you’d actually enjoy spending time with) will always rather get to know a friendly guy who means what he says than someone who’s trying to play it cool (and is therefore kind of a boring jerk).
